I often forget that I am just human who can't always be
right. I might be tough and strong as you see me, but it’s all a disguise, because
in reality, no matter how tough or strong a person is, if he is captive by such
a strong emotions of life’s madness and carries the burden on the expectations
of others, he will touch the ground and give up, not because he is a coward, but
because he is brave enough to accept what is bound to happen even if it means a
sacrifice.

Today, I see my own self too closely. All alone and weary,
I feel the heavy burdens upon my shoulder.

I can do nothing but close my eyes, because I would never
say I’m that person who likes to give up and hide.

What do they expect from me? Wouldn’t I get hurt each
time life attacks me?

If I call this life a war, then we know that war never
brings peace, since in war, someone wins and others may loose, but one common thing,
both pay with blood that thirst.

What good there is to give?

Nothing but a weary soul.

I am worn out.

Why am I in this kind of war?

I wanna take rest but I couldn’t

I wanna do things in my own ways and at my own risk

Yet I was hindered by outside forces, controlled like a
robot.

When would I be free?

This war of uncertainty is killing me, yet nobody see

Because everyone is busy on putting up their baggage on me.

I wanna feel something but my body is numb all over

Everything seems blurred, I see nothing but frozen tears

I didn’t feel my body, yet I feel someone has hit my soul

Direct to the core, the pain was so unbearable!

I act like a kid and started to cry, sat in a corner
alone, waiting for all

Yet no one else was coming for comfort

Nobody asked how I am or why I cried No one dares to ask
why I sit and fall down No one!Because everyone just want me to fly all
around

I envy the birds which fly freely above me. I wish I
could do the same like what others expect of me, but I am just mere human,
treated like a bird, put in a silver cage.

Long time ago someone has bought a lovely bird with nice looking
wings and gorgeously white feather, like a dove. Fascinated by its loveliness,
the man put the bird in a cage. Every morning, it has become his routine to watch
the bird for it gives him a light and peaceful feeling before he start his long
day. He was centered on his needs to
keep the bird in his custody. He never bother to think if the bird needs
freedom or not. He never think that it was born for open sky, and that it
couldn’t survive in a silver cage.

Poor bird, he was put in a cage by his master. He
struggled hard like to break that cage in order to free himself and fly far
away at the open sky. Like me, he forgot that he is just a living thing,
surrounded by predators, controlled by outside forces. No matter how hard he
tries to struggle to free himself up, he couldn’t easily escape because his
existence is already controlled by his master. There’s no way out. Struggling
for his freedom is just like a dream, nothing more than that.

After a long fight he just give up his life, fly away
from his soul but left behind his body which people buy from the market just
for money. He was thinking, he has stayed in that cage, his master gave him all
the good food, yet he still desired to get away. Now, he is free, but his body
which was being blessed was still kept in that silver cage. The master has his
body but he has set his own soul free.

Like of that lovely bird, nobody cares to ask what I
want. All they cares is what they want and it has become my duty to give them
what they want.

I want my freedom. I wanna spread my wings and fly high,
meet my desires, do what I want in that boundless sky, but my wings are broken
tired.

Do I have to escape from this world, leave everything
behind, take nothing but my soul?

Even the answer to this question is not mine but in favor
of the people.

JOURNEYING WITH YOU

My heart tells me there's something wrong. It seems you're going through a journey with nothing but heartaches beside you. You don't have to say or utter anything for me to know and realize the anguish. I care too much not to notice...

Over the years, I have discovered that Love's journey is not easy. At first It gives us hope. It gives us a feeling of the so called "heaven". We feel that butterflies are flying inside our stomach. Maybe sounds funny and corny, but we don't mind all those corny things they said. What matters to us is the sweet feelings of being in love. We are in a high spirit of Love. But, have we forgot that we are on a journey? Each of us from time to time experiences crises from different life changing events and transitions, all unpredictable moments arriving and intruding into our well groomed relationship, we didn't ask for this interference and we wonder why it has arrived bringing with it havoc and confusion.

Love's journey is not easy, in fact, it often is hard. No matter what the source, each pain has a common bond, a threshold, a holy summons inviting us to cross a threshold involving both a leaving behind and a stepping forward.

Struggling day to day with the pain is an agonizing task. Don't be too hard on yourself. I am near if you need a lift of heart, a guiding hand, and someone who will be there with you to welcome the light of a new day. Just go on with your journey, because you are not alone. If the pain is too much for you, then.... GIVE ME YOUR WOUNDED HEART.
